HR: What are your salary expectations?
Candidate: 250,000 per month.
HR: We really liked your profile, but it's a little over our current budget.
Candidate: I really like this role. If 240,000 is okay, I'm willing to adjust.
HR: Great. Let's finalize at 220,000.
The candidate agreed—a little hesitant, but remained hopeful.
Later in the office:
"Position filled," HR reported.
“The budget was 280,000 — the deal closed at 220,000. Saved 60,000 per month!”
HR Manager: “Excellent. This was a very smart hiring move.”
A few weeks later…
The newly hired employee learns the truth — that colleagues in the same role are earning 270,000 to 280,000.
1. Motivation erodes
2. Trust erodes
3. Performance plummets
4. Resignations ensue
And this is how the company returns to zero:
- Another vacancy
- Another recruitment cycle
- More onboarding costs
- All the time and productivity wasted
Really?
👉 Underpaying talented professionals doesn't save anything—it only delays the cost.
👉 If you want to retain top talent, compensate them fairly from day one.
They don't just bring skills—they also bring stability, loyalty, and long-term value.
Have you seen such a situation in your career life?

2023: No salary increase
2024: No salary increase
2025: No salary increase
Employee: please accept my resignation
CEO: You have done amazing in the company. Why are you resigning?
Employee: I have found a company with a 90% base salary increase and guaranteed salary promotions as long as I meet my performance goals.
36 hours later….
CEO: We will match you! Please stay, we value your hard work!
Employee: Unfortunately Monday is my last day.
Every employee is motivated by something different, so if you can hone in on that and encourage it you can almost guarantee you won’t run into this problem. Take care of your team.
I lead, plan, grind, and communicate nonstop to keep everything running smoothly and on track with my division’s master plan. People like to say I’m just “lucky” because I have a supportive team, but luck has nothing to do with it. Man, I work my ass off to make this happen.
